Develop iOS applications with RAD Studio

Ensure your apps are ready for the Apple marketplace. Now you can create Universal apps for 32-bit and 64-bit iOS devices including iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with RAD Studio. Develop your mobile apps visually and deliver high performance, natively compiled apps for the best user experience.

With RAD Studio 10 we are building cross-platform, single-code base apps and every app, exe, apk, uses the same data module. So every project uses the same data-acces and general structure!

Embarcadero should be so proud…

New iOS Features and Support Added to RAD Studio 10 Seattle

iOS Control Enhancements. New platform presentation for iOS ScrollBox and enhancements to the ListView control.

FireMonkey Platform Native Rendering Architecture

FireMonkey’s underlying visual control architecture has been significantly overhauled to enable multiple presentation implementations per control called “ControlTypes” - in particular, native OS control presentations can be utilized. The new underlying architecture is MVC based and is backward compatible enabling developers to choose at design time between Styled and Platform control types on a per control* basis (*for controls that include both control types). This allows you to select whether a control will be implemented at runtime by FireMonkey’s GPU driven rendering or implemented by the underlying operating system.

Universal iOS 32-bit and 64-bit apps, six key performance critical controls now have iOS native platform control types built–in, including TEdit, TListView, TMemo, TSwitch, TCalendar and TMultiView. In the future we plan to add platform control types for other operating systems and components.

Native and custom styling options

With RAD Studio, you get a full range of native styled user interface controls, including buttons, listboxes and combo boxes, to incorporate into your apps. The iOS apps you create include native platform controls like the date picker and custom picker, different keyboard types, services like notifications, and support for share sheet actions. Use pixel perfect native styles, custom styles or create your own to give your apps a unique look.

Monetize your mobile apps

Mobile apps are a revenue generating opportunity for application developers. Now you can monetize your mobile apps by integrating in app purchases and advertising. Sell content, functionality, services and subscriptions with support for iOS App Store in-app purchase and Google Play In-app Billing. Serve ads from the top ad networks (Google AdMob and Apple iAd). It's easy to add this functionality to your apps via the included TBannerAd and TInAppPurchase components.

Conecta con proveedores de BaaS

Integrate cloud based services from Back-end as a Service (BaaS) providers, Kinvey and Parse, with components for popular BaaS services like notifications, user management, and storage. You get easy access to these common services in the cloud without having to build them yourself or maintain them. Add user authentication to your apps. Use push notifications to engage your users. Access data and object storage in the cloud.

IBLite and SQLite iOS database support

RAD Studio includes iOS local database support for SQLite and embedded InterBase (ToGo and IBLite) via dbExpress, FireDAC and IBX. You also get a free development and free unlimited deployment license for IBLite – a new freely deployable version of the popular embedded InterBase ToGo database.
